A TEN WIN SEASON IS WITHIN REACH.
Southern Miss
So much depends on the quarterback. Who will it be? Will he/they be anywhere as effective as Nick Mullens was for three-plus seasons?
If a QB develops and is effective, the Eagles could enjoy a special season. If not, it could be a so-so season or worse.
I’ve got USM winning seven (Southern, Louisiana-Monroe, North Texas, UTEP, UAB, Rice and Charlotte) and losing five (Kentucky, UTSA, Louisiana Tech, Tennessee and Marshall.)
You might surmise that I am not confident in USM’s unproven quarterbacks, and you might be right. But if one of those guys comes through, at least four of those five predicted defeats are win-able games. We shall see.
